It is sub-divided into five pastoral areas, which in turn contain 19 parishes.
Shropshire Pastoral Region
[edit]Prior to October 2007, two deaneries - Shrewsbury & West Shropshire and Telford & East Shropshire - existed. In line with diocesan restructuring by Bishop Brian Noble, these were merged to form the Shropshire Pastoral Area.[2]
The deanery comprises the whole of Shropshire.
